Not a problem. The moderators usually see things and move them where they are supposed to be.

I totally agree with you but they didn't so there it is.

Glad that you got it back together!
“It would be nice if I could have my pressure gaugue there, instead of on the end of the tube. Staring at the muzzle while filling has never set right with me...”
I agree with this, however, this design is the simplest to maintain tube volume. I have a rectangular inspection mirror that I set at 45 degrees on a flat surface at my fill station to watch the gauge.

@Tnugnent2. Thanks for watching.

Greenbeans, I'm seeing there are two types of AEA 33.9gr pellets on the Utah Air website. There's the 'Center Punch Diabolo' and the '.25 Diabolo Pellet Heavy (+)'. Which one are you having the best luck with? Thanks, Joe

Center punch.

That works great in a match where every shot counts. It sucks when plinking shotgun shells from 20-75 yards. You have to learn your transitions instinctively or you wind up spending more time estimating range and adjusting your scope.

Once again you do your best and learn from your misses. Pretty soon your instinctive hold over becomes mighty close. The best shot in the field is the guy that can learn from his misses quickly.

Imagine hunting jackrabbits and having to dial a scope! Or shotgun shells that jump 5-20 yards with each hit. You just aren't going to dial every shot. Your going to have to learn to hold over instinctively and then know how to correct for error whether it be elevation or windage.

What makes sense in the rarified air of competition shooting is often contrary to how you shoot in practical applications.

There is no way I could compete in a match with guys who dialed every shot. That's precision. On the flip side a guy that can't make instinctive transitions is going to come up short when plinking or hunting. I'll hit a shotgun shell 6-8 times and knock it completely off the range by the time you could click for your second shot. Yes I'll miss a couple times. But I can hit more times in a shorter amount of time. Instinctive accuracy will trump precision every time in most shooting situations outside of a target range.

So I suppose it's all just a matter of what works best in your situation. If you have the time and a stationary target clicking may be the best way to make every shot count. Shooting a target that repositions itself every few seconds is a completely different ball game.

Original poster said he is only shooting set distances 25,50,100 at targets that’s why clicking makes more sense, I have my field target guns set up with duel numbers on my wheel one is for clicking the other holdover one is strictly for ft the other is for pesting and ft and benchrest so I do use both methods just depends on what discipline I’m shooting

When my Boss was acting squirrelly I rebuilt the OEM twice but couldn't get it right, decided on replacement with the Huma on Centercut's suggestion. Glad I listened. Just a heads up, some rebuild kits for the Boss DON'T include the exterior reg o-rings! They're 11.91x2.62 Buna 70.

Good to know
Thanks, Gerry

I got one on my Boss but can't remember WHERE I got it! You can just as easily order the regular HS adjustment screw cap from FX & put it behind existing one. Works exactly like brass one.
Edit: got it from Huma but "out of stock" there now. $8. My suggestion will work the same. P/N 11030 on Cyclone diagram (C18 on exploded diagram)

I've put over 500 rounds through my Rattler 45 Long Strike. It's an air hog for sure! Based on the multiple reviews versus few complaints, the Western semi auto's are trouble free for the most part and if there's an issue they seem to get taken care of unde warranty very quickly.

Great prices. Products look solid. Just need this market to turn around so I can afford fun stuff again.

I hear that a lot. Let’s all hope this ship gets righted quickly. Let freedom ring!

While most would argue against the aesthetics, I love the functionality of chassis’s.

Although somewhat beastly to shoulder at age 68, the chassis is superb for me on a bench…. Although I will shoot Hft with it occasionally, I expect all my forced position lanes will be drive by shots or zero

after all two lbs is TWO POUNDS

Pls delete this I was correct. the gauges are correct.

I see that you shoot them between legs and neck? I prefer to shoot at the head so that my meat doesn't bruise. Other than that you have great shots.

Sometimes I brain shoot them. It depends on how stable and confident I feel about the shot. Heart/lung shots provide more margin for error. I’ve accidentally hit a few squirrels in the jaw and I hate seeing them suffer.

Dr. Kralenstein · Nov 9, 2024

I'd think it would drop a doe with a slug within 30 yards or so. Think deer stand pistol shots.

.177Guy · Nov 19, 2024

If any of u guys who ordered this cheap 3d printed buck rail suppressor and upon using find out that ur shots are going off the target,
don't worry brother got ur back,
use an appropriate rubber o ring to sit snug around ur 1/2” threaded unf adapter and make sure ur buck rail suppressor threaded end accommodates that o ring flush on top of its metal insert that goes over unf adapter.

Slug port with pin probe. Just over two mags. 300cc, 250 bar bottle.

Thanks for that. Gives me a good idea.

You need to use code thankyou as one word. No spaces.

woogie_man · Nov 15, 2024

First off....assuming you are talking about the L2?
Depending on how you tune it and have it set up will depend on how loud they are. At lower powers they can be extremely quiet.

So I did get the site figured out. I attached a picture. Now I have a new CD problem. I bought the gun used and I was shooting it the other day and it stopped. It had plenty of air. I believe the original owner out grease in the wrong spot. Trying to disassemble but having problems. Looks like the striker is dragging due to the grease. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you

Joedirt199 · Nov 9, 2024

The sling never touches the gun as the magpul has a quick detach socket for the quick detach loop I put on the sling. It also has anti-rotation built into the socket.

Great thing about living in the country with neighbors that all shoot, they dont care what I shoot so Im
Dont think I could live where I had to worry about it.

Loud & proud 'round here. With all the suppressed night-time shooting out here I don't mind barking the Bulldog every so often at night. In the evenings and on weekend mornings it's pretty common to hear folks shooting on their property. The moderator is to keep from spooking the animals, not the people in these parts.

You use ARH green seals? I've had good luck but you do need to get the seal to where it slides some in the chamber when you push on the piston. I prefer Vortek piston seals, but could not find them in FWB 124. I used a spring ARH called the Twister. Getting 830 fps out of it. What spring did you use? You seem to be getting very good velocities out of the 124.

I used the Maccari tuning kit ( not the soft one ) Polished springs ends really wheel and polished the faces of the compression tube where cocking shoe slides
